Wow!  I didn't realize how good Coleman looked prior to his 1998 break through.  Levrone was just insane in that video...his rear lat spread is scary.  Nasser looked great too, although I would have scored him 3rd.

No way in hell the top 3 in any current pro show come close to that.  It's a shame.

  Nasser looks incredible there. This is probably his best shape ever, even better than his 99' Arnold win. His back is enormous and is pretty dry, something that Nasser seldom achieved. From the front, him and Levrone were clearly the better two of the show: Ronnie was not as full and dry for that show like he was at that year's CPC. He had the smallest waist of them all, but that was not enough to trump Nasser and Levrone who looked otherworldly. Nasser clear winner, with Levrone second.

True, but don't forget Nasser got disqualified cause he tested positive for Diuretics. Dorian was the only one on that stage who was dry, although his legs weren't filled out to his usual standards. If I remember right, Paul Dillett was quite dry too, for that Olympia.

From that video I think Kevin looks the best and thickest all over. I was waiting for Ronnie to destroy them from the back, and although he has the best separation he didn't have the beef yet, Levrone has some serious size in that show!

its amazing how much size Ronnie put on between 96 and 99

that lat comparison is funny as hell cause its so unusual:

this was the normal sight during Ronnie's peak years:

its quite clear that ronnie's back was so much more massive during his Olympia wins than during the mid 90's..

no wonder he lost to so many people including Dorian. he wasn't close to being himself yet.

are you fucking BLIND?

you cant see the size difference between that 96 vid and any 99 shot/vid? Ronnie's whole upper body is noticably bigger in 99 as are the quads.. ::)

you truly are brainwashed by the IFBB..

Hulkster obviously there is a change but stop being melodramatic it's not like he added 40 pounds he was fuller but he wasn't like 2002 Olympia and 2003

and yeah Ronnie was 250-255 pounds in 1996/1997 spare me the weights are bull shit when you need them to be nonsense and then brag about how much he weighed in 1999 , Dorian was 257 pounds in 1993 and 255 pounds in 1996 , he was much fuller in 93 but he wasn't leaps & bounds bigger

  Ronnie was 260 lbs at the 1996 Canada Pro Cup. He was as good there as if he was at the 1999 Olympia. The evidence for this? He beat Wheeler who was at one of his best shapes ever.

Actually roll your eyes, but he WAS 230-235 only the year before (1995). He brought a larger package in 1996. I thought he only went up to 250. I never read 260 pounds for Ronnie until 2000?

Did you know that practically all the competitors at the 96 Olympia took diuretics.  They said they would introduce testing for them that year but in actuality there was no test.  Nasser casually mentioned diuretics he took to Mike Matarazzo who then complained against him and resulted in him losing his prize money.

Anyone who competed at the O that year can confirm this :)

x2!
anyone who has any idea about BB competing will know that they all BB's are using diuretics, amateurs and pro's- from your local state show to the Olympia stage.
it is naive and ignorant to believe otherwise.
there was no diuretic testing in 1996- Nasser was the victim of a snitch.

yeah, ronnie's arms looked pathetic compared to their usual standard.

he tried to mimic his 245 pound Arnold Classic look and failed..

Ronnie's arms look great.  Conditioning is spot on.  Even though his arms are huge, his biceps have always had a strange shape and are a little short....esp next to kevin who has really long bi's. 

Ronnies tri's look thin too.  It seems like his bi's and tris are just fascia muscles over a sub set of really big under muscles.

Yep. the % of Met-Rx HMB's superiority over Muscletech's counterpart, is off the scale.

Men in white coats are feverishly working on a new scale.

Looks better in 97 , more detailed delts much smaller and tighter midsection

The judges care a lot about size and conditioning from behind, this is why Ronnie started beating Kevin all of a sudden. Kevin destroyed Ronnie in 2002, except that he forgot to bring the best back and legs. Ronnie's torso from the front was pretty bad, but best back and legs + conditioning go a long way. Same reason Kai beat Victor at the Arnold. Victor was biger and better in the upperbody from the front but Kai had everything else. Kevin's got great arms in 2002 but Ronnie had the best legs and back combo.

Also I think against guys like Levrone, Ronnie's added deltoid size really helped him, because it balanced out his massive chest and stopped him looking narrow next to Kevin the delt monster! Kevin's delts/arm/chest were never detailed like Ronnie's to begin with so I guess the judges thought Ronnie's added delt size could come at the expense of 5% less detail. Dorian never had grain of detail in his delts once he got to the 260lb range.

Bottom line, the judges clearly felt Ronnie '99 was better than Ronnie '97, hence his perfect score at the O that year.
